Introduction

Okay fam, let’s be honest — if you grew up watching Malaysian cartoons, you’ve probably wished for the day when our shows could really stand tall next to the big international ones. Well… that day is here. 🎉

2025 is straight-up stacked with Malaysia animated series that are funny, spooky, action-packed, and even a little experimental. Whether you’re into ghosts, gadgets, or good old family chaos, there’s something for you. And hey, since you’re reading this on our Kisah Bawah Tanah page, you already know we’re especially hyped about one in particular (👀).

So, pull up a chair — let’s go through the five Malaysian cartoon shows that you absolutely can’t miss this year.

1. Kisah Bawah Tanah, our take on Malaysia Animated Series!

Let’s start with our baby 💀 — Kisah Bawah Tanah (or Tales Down Below if you’re fancy).

Picture this: two skeleton teens, Zack and Sam, clocking in at a dusty little convenience store called The Mart. Their boss? A zombie named Tok Mart, who’s very different from Ina, his daughter, and he is as stingy as he is bossy. Sounds like a boring after-school job, right? WRONG. Because hidden behind those shelves is an interdimensional portal. Yep. Suddenly “stock runs” turn into chaotic missions through bizarre worlds crawling with myths, monsters, and all kinds of supernatural nonsense.

Between nightmare customers, ridiculously low pay, and their dream of just chilling with comics and video games, Zack and Sam are constantly dragged into adventures way above their pay grade. And honestly? That’s why we love them.

2. ChaCha & Dina

Now, let’s switch gears to something sweeter. ChaCha & Dina is basically every sibling relationship ever — in cartoon form.

ChaCha is the mischievous little sister, Dina is the “responsible” one, and together they’re pure chaos. They argue, they tease, they get into silly messes… but at the end of the day, you know they’ve got each other’s backs. Watching this show feels like stepping into a Malaysian living room: noisy, funny, and full of love. If you grew up with siblings, you’ll be pointing at the screen saying, “OMG, that’s literally us.”
